InfiniDB (formerly Calpont Corporation[1]) was a database management software company based in Frisco, Texas.
The company developed InfiniDB, a scalable, software-only columnar database management system[2] for analytic applications.
[6] By storing and managing data based on columns rather than rows, column-oriented architecture overcomes query limitations that exist in traditional row-based RDBMS.
[9] Each thread within the distributed architecture operates independently, avoiding thread-to-thread or node-to-node communication that can cripple scaling.
